News: LeoStick: the smallest #Arduino (Leonardo) #Clone? #iot

The LeoStick is designed to be functionally similar to the upcoming Arduino Leonardo, but given the “honey, I shrunk the kids” treatment!
Just pop it into your USB port (no cable required!) and upload straight from the Arduino IDE. We’ve even included on-board RGB LED lights and a speaker in this handy sized board. All the usual Arduino pins are present and each LeoStick comes with low profile header sockets for plugging in modules, shields and wires.

Features of the LeoStick include:

Native USB port built-in, no need for any USB or FTDI cables

Two Full Color RGB LEDs on-board! Drive different colored outputs and fun feedback from your sketch right away. One RGB LED is completely programmable, the other does Power, USB RX and TX indication, the RX and TX LEDs can also be controlled.

On-board Piezo speaker element, play sounds, tunes and beeps. Can also be used as a knock/vibration sensor

Same I/O pins. The LeoStick provides all the same header connections as larger boards, you can connect all the same sensors, actuators, and other inputs and outputs as typical Arduino models.

Breadboard compatible, has 0.1″ pitch pads and header pins can be fitted underneath
